In 1984 Patrick Swayze allegedly fell in love with the Las Vegas New Mexico area after the filming of Red Dawn and said he planned to return to the area. So In 1997, Charles S. Middleton and Son represented the former owners in the sale of the 7,200+ acres Rancho de Dias Alegres Ranch near Las Vegas, New Mexico to Patrick and Lisa Swayze. Then, 23 years later in September 2020, Lisa Swayze made the decision to sell the property. As of 2021 the ranch was purchased and has a new owner however Lisa Swayze has retained 50% of the property mineral rights (if any) of the former property. Lisa Swayze was quoted publicly as saying this about their New Mexico ranch: "Patrick and I searched for our 'dream ranch' for many years throughout the USA until we found this one. We loved its rugged beauty and the opportunity to ride our wonderful horses, camp, entertain special friends, run cattle, and be good stewards of the land. And it was large enough that we could explore and never run out of new discoveries. It was also a great place to read film scripts, and we even set up an editing bay in the dining room on occasion for projects rather than go back to LA. It's a beautiful, magical property with something very special about it. Patrick loved being on the ranch so much, it almost took a crow bar to pry him loose when we had to leave! Both he and I would have been perfectly happy being there always. When we first visited the ranch, one of the previous owners told us, 'This ranch is called Rancho de Dias Alegres which means 'Ranch of the Happy Days'. Then, she leaned in close to add, 'And it is'. And she was right. We've always been very happy there."
